Once you build an object in code, you can move and reuse it as you please, so it’s easier to build very complex games without building every element from scratch. For web browsers and mobile devices, knowing how to write code in Java is essential. C++ is also a powerful low-level language, meaning it’s built for machine readability.

In game engines, for performance, vertices have, instead, a list of bones they are affected by and how much.
